On Wednesday, the Edmonton Oilers were without Mattias Ekholm in their 7-2 win and although it seemed like just a game he would miss, it was announced today that he will miss a second straight game versus the Colorado Avalanche on Saturday. The Oilers head coach made a shocking comment.
In a tweet by the Oilers addressing the lineup for their highly anticipated matchup versus the Colorado Avalanche, Oilers coach Kris Knoblauch made a comment regarding the status of defenceman Mattias Ekholm.
The Edmonton Oilers will have to adjust tonight as they are without arguably their best defensive defenceman versus the powerhouse, Colorado Avalanche who have potential hart winner Nathan Mackinnon and Mikko Rantanen.
